Chapter 1053 Her Knight (1/2)

”Come on, Sally, Let's go. I'm here to pick you up.”

Cody gently came near her, took her schoolbag and slung it across his shoulder and carried it for her.

Noticing that there were a lot of girls swooning over Cody, Sally tilted her head towards Chloe and suggested, ”Hey, let's grab some dinner. It's on me!”

”I'll pass. I would rather not disturb the knight escorting his princess!”

Chloe stood up and glanced at Cody. He had his eyes intensely fixed on Sally. She smiled and patted her friend on the shoulder. ”I'm leaving now. Talk to you later.”

Sally had no choice then but to leave with just Cody.

On their way home, he looked at her in the passenger's seat next to him and reached out a hand to hold hers. ”Are you ok? You don't seem to be in a good mood. What if I don't take you home now, and we go for a walk instead?”

Removing her hand from under his, Sally looked straight at the road ahead and asked, ”Cody, could you please not be so kind to me all the time?”

Cody had a faint smile on his lips but said nothing. He had been by her side since they were children. No matter how mad she was, he would always be there for her, not thinking twice about the consequences.

He glanced at her and continued as if she had agreed with his idea, ”Well, we can go to the amusement park first, and then I'll take you to dinner before I drive you home.”

Sally kept looking straight ahead and didn't say another word.

Once they got to the amusement park, Cody encouraged her to try all kinds of games and attractions that he could find to distract her.

”Are you feeling any better? If you're not, we can play something else...”

Cody suggested. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper after he got out of a roller coaster. Heights weren't his strong suit, yet he still joined her without looking back.

Stepping out of the train, Sally closed the distance between them and hugged Cody affectionately.

”Cody, please don't be so nice to me,” she pleaded with tears in her eyes. She held him tightly as she released all the pent-up frustration in her heart.
